Moira Atlas Supernova Multichrome Gel Liner ($6.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a soft, black-based base multichrome eyeliner that shifted from olive green to copper to pinky-purple, though it was a very weak shift.

Semi-sheer pigmentation, hard to build up evenly
Emollient, smooth, creamy–seemed too creamy for an even application
Weaker multichrome shift
Pencil prone to smushing and pushing around product when building
Long-wearing (8.5 hours before thinning visibly)

Formula Overview

$6.00/0.01 oz. - $600.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "waterproof, smudge-proof, and transfer-resistant" with a "creamy texture." There did not seem to be a specific indication of pigmentation, but the promotional swatches make them appear opaque, which is typical for eyeliner. This is a multichrome finish-based formula, though I found that some shades had less obvious shifts and appeared more like good duochromes than decent multichromes as a result.

The texture felt smooth, lightly creamy, and comfortable to work with as it glided across my skin, but it did not deliver smooth results as the product itself often bunched up in places and did not build up well. I felt like, overall, it was a bit too emollient. I'd recommend using a stiff pencil brush to blend and smooth out the eyeliner after the initial laydown of product.

Most shades had more semi-sheer to medium coverage, which often did not build up that well as additional layers pushed around the first layer and resulted in an uneven result. They took a bit longer than average to dry down, but once they did, they were fairly long-wearing at 8-9 hours on me.

Chroma

Moira Chroma Supernova Multichrome Gel Liner ($6.00 for 0.01 oz.) had more of a translucent base with multichrome pearl that shifted from warm pink to greenish-gold to bluish-green, though the blue was very hard to detect so it was more like a strong duochrome in practice.
